Uses for Potato Flakes other than instant mashed potatoes
I've enjoyed instant mashed potatoes for years. Some brands are very good for a quick side.
Not long ago I saw some reference to a Jacques Pepin recipe for potato and leek soup using potato flakes. Probably saw it here.
So bought some and made a soup which was great. Have also used it to make basic mashed potatoes as a side... similar to a good version of instant mashed potatoes.
Also have used a tablespoon or so to thicken a sauce rather than corn starch or a roux.
Have read that it can be a coating for fried or baked things but haven't tried that yet.
Only into it for a few weeks, but I can tell a good quality potato flake like this one is a pantry staple from now on for me.

I know I posted about that soup several times, I think. I've made it quite a few times and it's delicious. I use way more leeks and I saute them in butter to soften them. I use the immersion blender on some of them and I also add gruyere to the soup before serving. No one has ever detected that I used potato flakes. You can control the consistency you want easily.
